Lyrics, Chords & Tablatures: Simple Human Kindness


by Jim Pembroke. Album: Nuclear Nightclub (1975)
F                 Fmaj7sus
Oh, holy Moses and sweet Madonna
Ab/Eb                     Bb
Where's that simple human kindness
F                 Fmaj7sus
My story closes and I'm a goner
Ab/Eb                         Bb
Where's the truth in all this blindness 

Db      Cm7
Come so far to find
Bbadd9
There's still so long to go
Eb/Db      Ab       Bb
Oh, let it all hang down 

N.C. (riff A)*
Do-do-do do-do-do
Let's just have a touch of that brain there
Do-do-do do-do-do
This rat race pace ain't gonna go nowhere 

D                     Dmaj7sus
And I'll shout it and I'll scream it
E/H                       C#sus4 C#
Where's that simple human kindness
F#                   F#maj7sus
Guided missiles and jungle warfare
F/C                     C11
Disabled babies with no mothers 

N.C. (riff A)*
Do-do-do... 

Bbm7
Get yer hair cut, get crew cut, get a suit
Ab
Get a white shirt, get a job, be respectable
Bbm7
Get a good shave, get a shoe line, manicure
Ab
Elocution lessons and be acceptable 

N.C.(riff B)**
"Be a success, life and soul of the party,
be educated and popular, body building
course and you can kick the sand right
back in their faces!" 

Bbm7  . . . 
Get yer a hair cut... 

N.C.(riff B)**
"Be a success, play guitar, be happy, like
everybody and everybody will like you!
Kick the sand right back in their faces!" 

F                 Fmaj7sus
Oh, holy Moses and sweet Madonna
Ab/Eb                     Bb
Where's that simple human kindness
F                 Fmaj7sus
My story closes and I'm a goner
G6                            Esus   E
Where's the truth in all this blindness
